[3 marks]
Part of the cell Function
A Where most of the chemical reactions take place

1. Nucleus
B Absorbs light energy to make food
2. Chloroplast
C Carries out respiration
3. Mitochondria
D Controls the activities of the cell

2.0 An athlete did a 6-month training programme.
Figure 2 shows the effect of the same amount of exercise on his heart rate before and
after the training programme.

2.1 What was the minimum heart rate of the athlete before the training programme?
[1 mark]
Minimum heart rate = beats per minute
2.2 Give two differences between the heart rate of the athlete before and after the training
programme.
[2 marks]
2.3 Which two substances need to be supplied to the muscles in larger amounts during
exercise?
[2 marks]
Put an X in two boxes.
Carbon dioxide
Glucose
Lactic acid.
Oxygen
Urea

2.4 Use Figure 2 to find the heart rate of the trained athlete 3 minutes after he stopped
exercising.
[1 mark]
Heart rate = beats per minute
The stroke volume of the heart is the volume of blood pumped out of the left side of the
heart in one heartbeat.
Figure 3 shows the relationship between the stroke volume and the heart rate before
and after the athlete did the training programme.
Figure 3
2.5 The cardiac output is calculated using the following equation:
cardiac output = heart rate × stroke volume
Calculate the cardiac output of the athlete after training, 8 minutes after the start of the
exercise. Use information from Figure 2 and Figure 3.
[2 marks]
Show clearly how you work out your answer.
Cardiac output = cm3 blood per minute

3.0 Figure 4 shows a single-celled alga which lives in fresh water.

3.1 Which part of the cell labelled above is made of cellulose?

[1 mark]
3.2 Water enters and leaves the algal cell.

State the name of the process by which water moves into cells.
[1 mark]
3.3 Describe what happens to the algal cell as water moves into the cell.
[1 mark]
3.4 The alga can photosynthesise.

Complete the word equation for photosynthesis.
[2 marks]
water + + oxygen

3.5 The flagellum helps the cell to move through water.
Scientists think that the flagellum and the light-sensitive spot work together to increase
photosynthesis.
Suggest how this might happen.

[2 marks]
4.0 This question is about photosynthesis.
4.1 Plants make glucose during photosynthesis.

Some of the glucose is changed into insoluble starch.
What happens to this starch?

[1 mark]
Put an X in one box only.
The starch is converted into oxygen.
The starch is stored for use later.
The starch is used to make the leaf green.

4.2 A student investigated the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in pondweed.
Figure 5 shows the way the experiment was set up.

Figure 5
The student needed to control some variables to make the investigation fair.
State two variables the student needed to control in this investigation.
[2 marks]
4.3 The bubbles of gas are only produced while photosynthesis is taking place.
What two measurements would the student make to calculate the rate of photosynthesis?
[2 marks]

4.4 Figure 6 shows the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in the pondweed.
Figure 6
Light intensity in arbitrary units
Name the factor that limits the rate of photosynthesis between the points labelled A
and B on the graph.
[1 mark]
4.5 Suggest which factor might be limiting the rate of photosynthesis between the points labelled
C and D on the graph.
